The stairs are the price of admission. Beach Access Point 26 on Seaview Terrace drops you down a flight of steps to one of the quieter entry points along Sunshine Beach, with views opening up on the descent that make the climb back worthwhile. Most people find it because they're walking the 5.5km trail through Noosa National Park and need a logical start or finish point. It works well for that. Dogs are welcome, the beach is right there, and the national park trails connect directly. Parking on the adjacent street is limited and tight, so arriving early or calling a rideshare back to Noosa is the move most regulars make. Not a destination on its own, but a genuinely useful access point that rewards those who know it's here.

Everything is built up around the steps down to the beach. Long long way down so if you don’t like steps don’t attempt. We only went down as far as the platform. Was very entertaining though as there was a green tree snake on the post that you can hold on to, and my friend freaked when sh realised she had almost touched it 😂. Beautiful views.
Lovely spot for a different off leash dog beach. Had hoped to see the caves but couldn't go along the path with the dog.
A beautiful spot and easy to access both the beach and nearby trails. You need to be prepared to walk down some stairs to get there. The adjacent street has some parking but is tight.

Noosa Heads QLD
A 15-minute walk from Noosa National Park's entrance earns you a beach covered in smooth granite boulders, reliable solitude, and the occasional dolphin sighting. The coastal views back along the headland are worth the detour alone. Bring a board if the swell cooperates.

Noosa Heads QLD
The coastal track from Noosa Heads to Boiling Pot Lookout is one of Queensland's best half-day walks, full stop. Turquoise coves, rugged cliffs, wallabies on the path. Arrive early or take the bus from Noosa Junction — parking is the only thing that'll test you.

Autumn is the best time to surf Noosa, and the region handles every level from first-timer to seasoned longboarder. First Point is world-famous for good reason, but the real picture is more layered: beach breaks at Sunshine Beach, honest swells at Coolum, and protected bays for beginners. Here is what you actually need to know before you paddle out.
Noosa has a reputation for being expensive, and parts of it are. But the national park is free, the best beaches cost nothing but the walk down, and there are hostels, cafes, and caravan parks that let you do this place properly without the Hastings Street bill. Here is how to spend less and miss nothing.
Autumn in Noosa is genuinely good for families. The water stays warm, the crowds thin, and the flat riverfront paths are pushchair-friendly for kilometres. From calm swimming spots and kid-friendly cafes to holiday parks a ferry ride from the tourist strip, here is the local edit on where to take the kids and how to keep everyone fed.
Every tourist town has two maps. The brochure version and the one locals keep to themselves. Noosa's second map runs through Noosaville backstreets, steep coastal staircases, and a Sunrise Beach café that has no interest in being discovered. Here is where to find it.
Three days is the right amount of time in Noosa. Enough to hike to Alexandria Bay at sunrise, eat pork belly at Bistro C, find the quieter stretch of Sunshine Beach, and still have an evening at Aqua Day Spa. This itinerary moves through Noosa Heads, Noosaville, and Sunshine Beach with specific times, specific plates, and no filler.
Killer spot cant wait to comeback
Fantastic option to get to / from the walk thru Noosa National Park (5.5km). Called a ride share to get back to Noosa
Noosa Heads QLD
The clifftop at the end of Noosa National Park's coastal trail, where humpback whales, dolphins, and turtles make regular appearances below. About 8km return via the Tanglewood loop. Park on Hastings Street and walk the boardwalk in — the main car park fills before 8am.
